Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the structure of motor, fan and Cyclonic separating apparatus.The present invention is concrete but and not exclusively relate to the structure of the motor, fan and the Cyclonic separating apparatus that are used in the vacuum cleaner.
Background technology
As everyone knows, vacuum cleaner be used for to be collected dust and dirt, but the also known variant vacuum cleaner that can collect the Wet-dry of liquid.Typically, vacuum cleaner is expected in the living environment and uses, but they also can use in other environment such as building site or garden.Usually, they are take electric power as power, thereby comprise: motor; The fan that is connected with the output shaft of motor; The entrance that is used for foul atmosphere; Be used for the outlet of clean air; And the collection chamber that is used for dust, dirt (also may be used for liquid).The electric power that is used for motor can be provided by mains supply, and vacuum cleaner will also comprise power line in this case; Provided by removable and removable battery pack; Perhaps provided by one or more built-in rechargeable batteries, vacuum cleaner comprises also that such as plug or electric contact etc. some is used for the device that vacuum cleaner and charhing unit are coupled together in this case.When providing electric power from one of these power supplys to vacuum cleaner, the Motor Drive fan, thus via collection chamber foul atmosphere is drawn into clean air outlet along air flow path by dirty air inlet.Fan is generally centrifugal fan, although it can be impeller or screw.
Be used for the dust that foul atmosphere is carried secretly and dirt (also may be liquid) is separated and they are deposited on device in the collection chamber also setting up some along some position of air flow path.This separation device of sewage discharge can comprise bag filter, one or more filter and/or Cyclonic separating apparatus.
In the situation that separation device of sewage discharge comprises bag filter, the foul atmosphere that has entered vacuum cleaner by dirty air inlet passes bag filter.The dust that this carries foul atmosphere secretly and contamination filtrating are out and be collected in the bag filter.The material that has filtered is stayed in the bag filter, and bag filter is arranged in the collection chamber.Then, clean air passes the opposite side of bag filter and passes grid in the collection chamber under the effect of fan.Fan suction and discharge air, then, air passes the clean air outlet of vacuum cleaner from fan.
Bag filter always exists dust and dirt to pass the little risk of bag filter, and what do not expect is to allow dust and dirt by fan and cause damage.In order to reduce this potential problem, usually be provided with the fine cleaner of the grid of crossing over collection chamber, to remove any fine dust and dirt particle remaining in passing the air-flow of bag filter.This is well-known preposition fan filter.
Once in a while, except preposition fan filter, before leaving vacuum cleaner, downstream, the air-flow of fan be provided with high efficiency particulate air filter.This is in order to remove the superfine small particle of any remnants, and but it can not damage fan or motor may be harmful to domestic environment.Term " filter efficiency " relates to the relative size of the particle of being removed by filter.For example, compare with rough filter, high efficiency particulate air filter can be removed less particle from air-flow.The HEPA filter is to remove the high efficiency particulate air filter that diameter is 0.3 micron (μ m) and less superfine small particle.
The purposes of bag filter is to filter the dust be entrained in the dirty air-flow and dirt and the material that filters out is collected in the bag filter.This can little by little stop up bag filter.The volume flow rate that passes the air of vacuum cleaner little by little reduces, and the ability that vacuum cleaner picks up dust and dirt correspondingly reduces.Therefore, bag filter become full before and the performance of vacuum cleaner become unacceptable before, need to change bag filter.The volume of collection chamber must be enough large, to be worth the cost of bag filter periodic replacement.
Upright vacuum cleaners has vertical main body usually, a pair of support wheel that this vertical main body has separation device of sewage discharge, motor and fan unit, is positioned at the handle at top and is positioned at the bottom.Cleaner head is installed on the main body pivotly, and cleaner head has the dirty air inlet towards ground.The drum type brake vacuum cleaner has cylindrical-shaped main body usually, the support wheel handled that this cylindrical-shaped main body has separation device of sewage discharge, motor and fan unit and is positioned at the below.Flexible hose with cleaner head is communicated with main body.Bag filter is generally used for as the upright vacuum cleaners of separator and drum type brake vacuum cleaner, and this is to provide the inner space to be used to hold bag filter because the main body of upright vacuum cleaners and drum type brake vacuum cleaner has enough large collection chamber.
In the situation that separation device of sewage discharge comprises filter, the foul atmosphere that has entered vacuum cleaner by dirty air inlet passes filter.The dust that this carries foul atmosphere secretly and contamination filtrating out and the material that will filter stay the collection chamber of the upstream side that is arranged in filter.Sometimes, filter has additionally arranged sponge, in order to absorb any liquid of carrying secretly in the dirty air-flow.Then, under the effect of fan, clean air passes the opposite side of filter, and then, air passes the clean air outlet of vacuum cleaner from fan.
The electrodeposition substance that has filtered is blocking filter around the filter and little by little.The volume flow rate that passes the air of vacuum cleaner little by little reduces, and the ability that vacuum cleaner picks up dust and dirt correspondingly reduces.Therefore, collection chamber need to regularly empty and filter often needs cleaning to slow down this impact.Sometimes, vacuum cleaner has cleaning filtration mechanism.As selection, filter need to be removed in order to for example clean with brush or clean in dish-washing machine.
Hand-holdable formula vacuum cleaner, as its name reflects, compact, light and be used for to carry out on a small quantity or fast clean up task around the shelter.Typically, hand-holdable formula vacuum cleaner is battery-powered so that carry.
With the open EP1752076A of the application's European patent of the same name in a kind of example of hand-holdable formula vacuum cleaner of the structure with conventional motor, fan and filter has been described.This vacuum cleaner has the dirty air inlet of an end that is positioned at the foul atmosphere passage, and the foul atmosphere passage leads to the collection chamber with filter.Collection chamber is roughly cylindrical and laterally be arranged on the main body of vacuum cleaner.The foul atmosphere passage can rotate with respect to main body with collection chamber.When the vacuum cleaner is cosily gripped by the user, can regulate the foul atmosphere passage to approach narrower space.
In the situation that separation device of sewage discharge comprises Cyclonic separating apparatus, the foul atmosphere that has entered vacuum cleaner by dirty air inlet passes the Cyclonic separating apparatus with one or more cyclone separators.Cyclone separator is the combination of chamber of cylindrical cavity, taper chamber, truncated cone shape chamber or two or more mentioned kinds of hollow.Cyclone separator has swirler along its inner total length or partial-length.Swirler is generally the cylinder of hollow, and has the external diameter less than the internal diameter of whirlwind separator.
Foul atmosphere via the air intake of tangential setting enter cyclone separator and in addition the form of eddy flow around cyclone separator and circle round.Centrifugal force make dust and dirt outwards mobile with bump cyclone separator unit the side and make the dust unit and dirt and flow separation.Dust and dirt are deposited on the bottom of cyclone separator, and deposit in the collection chamber of below.Then, the inward eddy of clean air upwards gos up in cyclone separator.The effect of swirler is to collect and guide clean air by being positioned at the air outlet slit at cyclone separator top.As the optional substitute of swirler, cyclone separator can have the ventilative wall of inner cylindrical, and this ventilative wall provides the path that begins from cyclone separator for clean air.Under the effect of fan, clean air passes the clean air outlet of vacuum cleaner from cyclone separator.
Similar with the situation with bag filter, the vacuum cleaner with Cyclonic separating apparatus can have preposition fan filter with protection fan and motor, particularly in the situation that air-flow is used for cool motors.Yet, along with the electrodeposition substance that separates in collection chamber, it is constant that the volume flow rate of the air of the vacuum cleaner of flowing through almost keeps.Therefore, the attractive spot of the Cyclonic separating apparatus in the vacuum cleaner is to pick up the constant ability of dust and dirt.Another attractive spot has been to exempt the cost of periodic replacement bag filter.
In the open EP0042723A of European patent, a kind of example with upright vacuum cleaners of motor, fan and Cyclonic separating apparatus has been described.This Cyclonic separating apparatus is divided into: the first cyclone type separative element, and it has the cyclone separator that is formed by annular compartment; And the second cyclone type separative element, it has the roughly cyclone separator of truncated cone shape.The first cyclone type separative element is connected with the second cyclone type separative element by passage.Air flow through successively the first cyclone type separative element and the second cyclone type separative element.The diameter of truncated cone shape cyclone separator is less than the diameter of annular compartment, and the truncated cone shape cyclone separator partly is embedded in annular compartment.The material that has separated from two cyclonic separation unit is collected in the cylindrical shape collection chamber of the bottom that is formed at annular compartment.
Term " separative efficiency " uses in the mode identical with filter efficiency, and " separative efficiency " relates to the relative ability that Cyclonic separating apparatus is removed small particle.For example, compare with poor efficiency cyclonic separation unit, the efficient cyclone separative element can be removed less particle from air-flow.The factor that affects separative efficiency can comprise the cone angle of any frustoconical part of size, cyclone separator of the clean air outlet of the size of dirty air inlet of cyclone separator and inclination angle, cyclone separator and diameter and the length of cyclone separator.
The cyclone separator of minor diameter has the separative efficiency higher than large diameter cyclone separator usually, although other factors listed above may have impact of equal importance.
The first cyclone type separative element of EP0042723A has than the low separative efficiency of the second cyclone type separative element.The first cyclone type separative element separates larger dust and dirt from air-flow.This is so that the second cyclone type separative element acts on the air-flow of relative cleaning under its optimum condition, and dust that will be less and dirt separation go out.
